What do you think about children, who are going in for muay thai?
Best age to start? What about full contact competitions?
My kid is 8 years old, he is passion in this sport since he was 6... Couple times champion on regional competitions, 3-rd place on national level in 2017...
He even started his channel on youtube: Muay Thai Kids Channel.
Totally crazy with this sport - trainings 6 times a week.
What about Your children in sport?

Thanks!
Very interesting!
We are from Ukraine, Lutsk...A little bit far from US :)
But sometimes we visit Your country...
Our main trainer and founder of sport club Pitbull (Lutsk, Ukraine), Bogdan Moroz is living and working in Florida now.
Probably, some day, we'll take part in American competitions! :)
We invite You to visit Ivan's channel Muay Thai Kids
Videos with trainings, fights, sparrings etc with ukrainian kids...Maybe it'll be interesting for You.

Training at 6 is okay fighting at 6 is frankly disgusting in my opinon. It's just totally wrong. There's enough risk for fully grown adults doing it let alone kids. Also adults know they want to do it kids don't know if they want to or not

Disgusting? Why?
Most kids are training just for their health, even without sparrings ...
Football has risks as well...
Have you ever trained MT??

Kids should absolutely not be fighting. In my eyes no one should get in the ring and fight until they're at least 16
